Use Copilot Notebooks without a license

Good news: Copilot Notebooks are now available without a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Bundle your sources, generate mind maps and study guides, and share everything with your colleagues.

✅ How to

  1. 1Available without a Copilot licenseCopilot Notebooks are no longer limited to licensed users: they're now available in Copilot Chat, without a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. A Notebook is a space dedicated to one topic, where Copilot reasons only over the sources you add to it.

  2. 2Where to find Notebooks (two possible paths)No worries if you don't see them right away, there are two ways to get there depending on your version: ➞ Option 1, the « waffle »: click the grid icon (the 9 small dots) at the very top of your Copilot app, then pick « Notebooks » (« Blocs-notes » in French), as shown in the first screenshot. ➞ Option 2, the left pane: depending on updates and your license, a « Notebooks » entry may also appear directly in the left menu, as shown in the second screenshot. Both lead to the same place.

  3. 3Add your reference sourcesFeed your notebook with what you need: web pages, files (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF) and emails can all be used as reference sources. Copilot then relies exclusively on that scope to answer you, ideal to work on a specific case without being drowned in everything else.

Create an infographic from Notebooks, based on your own content

Notebooks (which you can open straight from OneNote) does more than gather your sources: with a license, its « Create » menu generates a full infographic from the content referenced in your notebook. Here, we use the fictional « Thunderbolt » project to turn specs into a share-ready visual.
